100% Tutor Satisfaction Guarantee
At Varsity Tutors, we're committed to connecting you to top tutors capable of delivering an outstanding experience. That's why we provide a 100% tutor satisfaction guarantee.
If you're finding yourself struggling with your college courses, Varsity Tutors can help you find a Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute tutor to help you address those challenges head-on. We can connect you with the best private instructors in the area with the knowledge specific to your classes, the experience in working with students like you, and the skills necessary to communicate effectively. Whether it's James Joyce giving you trouble or Supply-Side Economics, our educational consultants can find you a tutor who is well prepared to deliver the answers you seek.
How can a college tutor near me at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute support my college studies?
Your Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute tutor can start your relationship by working with you to develop an individualized learning plan. Your RPI tutor works with you on a one-to-one basis, so they get the chance to get to know you, familiarize themselves with your coursework and its demands, figure out where you're struggling, and understand what you're hoping to get out of your tutoring sessions. They can then work with you to set specific goals and terms of engagement for your sessions together. Having a framework can foster accountability, allow you to better track your progress, keep you motivated, and encourage productive, structured study habits that can benefit you well beyond the targeted coursework.
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute tutoring can be tailored to the way you like to engage in the learning process, too. While everyone technically can learn by any method of instruction, we tend to pay more attention and retain more information when it's presented in a way that appeals to us.
If you're more of a visual learner and having difficulty with linear algebra, your instructor can use tools on the Live Learning Platform like the virtual whiteboard. With different colors, they can demonstrate how to solve a function, visually stimulating your mind to help with conceptualization and recall.
On the other hand, if you're someone whose memory is stimulated aurally, your instructor might begin the lesson in the same way, but ask you to replicate the process while explaining what you're doing aloud in order to demonstrate your understanding and help improve your retention. Customized instruction like this can be highly effective and is one of the benefits of RPI tutoring.
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute tutoring can operate as an extension of the work you're doing in the classroom. Part of your RPI tutoring can be a review of the lessons you're being presented in lectures. You can discuss the concepts in further detail, and your tutor can provide clarification when necessary, answering questions when they come up. If your professor's explanation of an idea isn't quite satisfying, your tutor can attempt to approach the idea from different directions until they find one that makes more sense to you. This undivided attention is another significant benefit of the individual nature of working with an RPI tutor.
Your Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute tutor can help you as you tackle homework assignments, too. This can certainly provide a little stress relief, but the real value in this support is that it can be instructive. For example, if you're having a hard time with balancing chemical equations, your tutor can walk through solving one problem before asking you to try doing so yourself. If you make a mistake, they can correct you, but the value, is not so much in the correction as it is in the conversation it can spur, deepening your understanding of the ideas and helping prevent errors from becoming habits.
How can Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute tutoring help me with exam preparation?
If you know you have an exam coming up, your Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute tutor can get the ball rolling by working with you to draw up a plan. The two of you can collect the relevant materials, sort them into digestible chunks, and create a schedule for making your way through it all. This can help diminish test anxiety and build up solid organization and planning skills.
Your RPI tutor can help you put rubber to the road with an overview of these materials, which can help put the key details at the forefront of your mind just before the test. In some cases, this might highlight topics where you need to spend more time preparing. This can allow you to walk in on the day of the exam confident you've done all you can to prepare.
How can I get started with a college tutor near me at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute?
Our educational tutors can find you a tutor whose availability already matches up with your own. In-person tutoring is available, but our Live Learning Platform means you can meet up with your tutor from anywhere there is internet access. Contact Varsity Tutors today to be connected with a college tutor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in as few as 24 hours!

Recent Palos Hills Tutoring Session Notes
1. Wrote entire homily for Speech class. He paralleled some gospel story to the story of King Arthur. Only the hard copy is due the next day but the student doesn't have speech class (he has Spanish instead) that day.
2. Brought a green folder with brads and pockets. Supervised while the student made the dividers and then checked his Lit binder for all rough drafts that were supposed to be in there.
3. Study pack, Social Studies (most of it was done - he had left only a page's worth of the more reading-intensive work to do).

Today the student and I started with Chemistry and ended with Algebra 2. We did a 2 page worksheet on writing empirical formulas of compounds given a percent composition of the elements present. We then went on to work on his math assignment for the weekend, looking at the transformation of functions when multiplied by a coefficient or translated up/down or right/left. The student understood all of this very well and did many problems on his own. Overall a great session with much improvement and understanding.

We worked through a new review worksheet that the student was given by her teacher. We didn't have time to finish all of it, but we worked steadily and the student seems to have learned a lot. I think she is getting rotational physics pretty well.

Went over an assignment (24 questions) including some pure math problems (quadratic equations, derivatives) and some applied finance and economics problems. Taught the student a couple of formulas and concepts, and reviewed one or two as well, including: present/future value, average/total cost, revenue and profit evaluation.
